Spec script sale: “Abduction”

After she reported first on it last week, it’s official per Nikki Finke:

Lionsgate won the bidding with the “most aggressive offer” for the Verve client Shawn Christensen’s script Abduction with WME- and Management 360-repped Lautner attached. But that’s not all: we hear the screenplay sold for nearly $1 million in this sluggish spec script market.

$1M is a lot of dough, but especially for a mini-major like Lionsgate. I believe that’s the 3rd spec script sale of the year.
